America's Next Top Model @ MindSay

What better way to spend an evening than laptopping by the glow of the Christmas tree lights while watching trashy celebrity news, eating jujubes, kittycat cuddling and warming one's feet by the fire? It's that kind of nasty rain-soaked night that leaves your bones cold long after you've come inside. I woke up with a headache that Tylenol hasn't quite slain -- though it's taken the edge off, I can still feel the pain lurking on the sidelines, plotting its return. It occurred to me that it's probably the lingering effects of the wine I drank last night -- which is pretty sad, since I only had a couple small glasses.

 

On Wednesday nights my roommate and I have our "date night," which consists of having dinner and watching America's Next Top Model. We take turns cooking and buying wine with the rules that we have to try a new recipe every week and must give the non-cook the opportunity to veto the choice in case it's something they really hate (so far not a problem, since neither of us have met many foods we don't like). cricker81 outdid herself last night with Pork Tenderloin With Onion-Balsamic Sauce and light scalloped potatoes. Yum!

 

Working a split shift tomorrow with YMCA volunteering in between -- which means 14 hours divvied up between 3 gyms. Huzzah! With all that gym-time on my hands I better damn well get a good workout in -- I tried this afternoon, but my aching head and general wine-related weakness made it a write-off. Between a half-hearted half hour on the elliptical, a few lazy crunches and the feeling that one more push-up might result in total organ failure, I've had better days on the fitness front. C'est la vie!

So recent events have led me to decide I want to reintroduce mindsay into my life.  As much as I love facebook and myspace...mindsay is perfect to just let it all out.

 

I probably won't post too often cuz I am lazy and don't always know how to say it.  plus I usually start writing and then it gets to personal.  I'll try to let it all out.

 

if you want to know about me.  I am Kari, I spell it differently on my 'name' cuz I like that spelling to...but it's like carrie the movie, I'm not a car...haha

I go to school in Menom. Wisc. UW-STOUT =).  I am working on a BS in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, I plan to become an Actuary...if you know what that is.

 

I am in a relationship of almost 2 years with my best friend, Benjamin.  And I will probably write a lot about him...as much as you can love someone, you can get annoyed and aggrivated by their bad habits...no one is perfect.

 

Maybe I will write about the TV shows I love to watch my favs being...One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls, America's Next Top Model, Brothers and Sisters, Ugly Betty and of COURSE Grey's Anatomy.  =)

 

Some fav bands of mine...Breaking Benjamin, Godsmack, Hello Goodbye, Daughtry, Celine Dion (I'm eclectic), Metallica, any OTH (one tree hill) music, gosh I should save this list, Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, and some country...and the such =) oh yeah, and Akon =)

 

I am currently reading for School, a book called Beloved, it's a little weird, but good.  I haven't quite made a decision about it...speaking of which I gotta read :(...I also really love love love Nicholas Sparks.

 

I wonder if anyone will read this.

 

Well if there is anything else someone would like to know about me, I love to talk...about myself, and anything!

I am always ready to make new friends...I don't know a lot of random people(basically meaning we met online and talk cuz it's cool...lol), and would love to meet you =) ...oh yeah and I love making smilie faces...haha

 

Well that is all for now.

peace, love and rock'n'roll...if that's how it goes.

On America's Next Top Model, guess who went home? sara !!! I really don't care about her that much, but I feel jade should of went home. I'm still kind of pissed that nnenna went home, but she might have a career in modeling later.

I am kind of salty that Chris went home on American Idol. Taylor should of went home because nobody likes him!!! He can't sing, and that is final!!

I'll come back later with more info about these two shows.

10 Things That Life Taught Me

1. Once your parents argue, it tends to be “your” fault.

2. Living in a house with six kids is like living in a zoo.

3. It’s true that most choir directors are gay.

4. Blood isn’t thicker than water.

5. Wouldn’t shows like American Idol, and America’s Next Top Model be better judged by average people?

6. TRL and 106 & Park need to play the whole video, not just parts of it.

7. Who really watches VH1’s ‘Celebreality’ Shows?

8. Don’t mess with people who say they’ll blow the school up. Most likely they will.

9. Most people buy burnt CDs instead of the real artists.

10. White people can’t say ‘nigga’.
